Hi everyone! Forest Essentials has just launched a range of new soaps and today I’ll be sharing with you the details of this new launch. Like everything else the brand creates, these look beautiful, smell lovely and are created using a curing process of 12 weeks to give them a luxurious feel and texture. The making of the soap incorporates unique processes including a ghee wash and a pure silk infusion. 100% Natural silk is dissolved into the soaps to give them a silken texture & consistency. Pure natural spring water, herbal infusions and essential oils are also added to further enrich the concoction.

The soaps are individually packed in beautiful cardboard boxes with the ingredient list inside the box. These are priced at Rs 750 each. Let’s have a closer look at the 4 variants.

Hi everyone! With Diwali just a few days away, I thought I’d share some beautiful festivegifting options for your loved ones. Forest Essentials does the most beautiful gift boxes in rich colors, wrapped up in fragrant tissue and grossgrain ribbon. The jewel toned color combinations with the golden motifs give these boxes are very opulent look.

Hi everyone! Since I recently did haircare and skincare routine videos, I thought it would be fun to show you the bath & body products I’m using at the moment. While Moroccanoil and Schwarzkopf continue to keep my hair under control, for the body I’ve been trying out the Country Rose range from Nykaa. The Body Shop Bath Gloves are the perfect companion for any shower gel and keep the skin well exfoliated and smooth. And for a little extra TLC for the feet, I’ve been using the Kama Ayurveda Foot Scrub. Hope you enjoy the video!

Hi everyone! Sorry for lack of posts since the past two weeks. My old (and very well used!) Sony DSLR camera broke down and I was unable to take any new pictures. I considered taking using pictures from my iPhone but having used a DSLR for so long, I just didn’t like how the images from the phone turned out. Last week I ordered the new Canon 80D which finally arrived earlier this week and I’m so relieved to have a working camera with me again! The camera is great (though it’ll take me some time to learn to get the most out of it) and these are the first batch of product pictures I took today for the review.

Forest Essentials Deeply Nourishing Facial Cleansing Paste

Today I’m reviewing the Almond, Pistachio and Honey Cleansing paste from Forest Essentials. You might recall this from one of my favourites video some time back. This nourishing cleansing paste has become a staple in my bi-weekly exfoliating and masking routine!

The Forest Essentials Floral Makeup Remover comes in a simple bottle packaging with a screw on golden cap and a plastic stopper. While the packaging is functional no doubt, I think a pump may have been more convenient and travel-friendly. The remover is a blend of carrier oils such as oils of Jojoba,Olive and Sunflower along with anti-oxidants such as Vitamin E and Wheat Germ Oil. In addition, it contains Jasmine flower oil and Rose flower extract. The oils are also infused with Marigold flowers which give it a distinct floral scent which I find mild and pleasant.

As a makeup remover, its definitely quite effective as the oil breaks down the toughest waterproof, long-wearing makeup formulations in a jiffy. It does however leave an oily film on the skin so it needs to be followed up with another cleanser, especially important if you have oily or acne prone skin as the oil residue may result in clogged pores. While my most preferred way of makeup removal is a cleansing oil or balm which emulsifies and washes off completely with water, I do like this over bi-phase makeup removers which tend to be harsh and drying on the skin. Micellar waters are great for light makeup but for long wearing makeup, you need something with an oil base and this remover works very well in that department.
